REVOLVE : Ryan Townsend (availabel 8.18.23)
The songs on Revolve blossom from a love of music and a cosmic sense of connection. In my experience music has always taken shape and revolved around an infinite spirit of creation and imagination, and the songs on this album follow that credence. The music is honest and reflective. The hope is to find common connections, discover something new, and appreciate the circular passage of sound.
The album features 12 tracks of intimate acoustic covers, soulful originals, and instrumentals. The songs I chose to cover ( MGMT, Whitney Houston, Kings of Leon, CCR ) were typically upbeat or danceable tracks, but I took a slower approach and stripped down the sound, to find a new way of connecting with the music.
Among the half-dozen instrumental tracks on Revolve, you’ll hear cascading guitar tones and cinematic keys, creating an ambient and entrancing thread that ties each of the album’s songs together.
